Prince Harry will consider a “part-time” role in the royal family if asked by King Charles to “help out”, sources have claimed.
However, the Duke of Sussex, who turns 40 this month, will only do so on the condition that his brother Prince William apologises, the Mirror reports.
This comes after it was widely rumoured that Harry misses his old life and is considering a return to the royal fold.
It has now been claimed that Harry has an “amazing” set of new friends in the US and several exciting projects on the horizon, sources told The Telegraph.
Meanwhile, the Prince and Princess of Wales are preparing their children to return to school today after enjoying their summer break at Balmoral.
Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis are all pupils at Lambrook School in Bracknell and will return for the Michaelmas term today (4 September).
As George, 11, approaches the end of his time at prep school, it is understood that he may follow in his father’s footsteps and attend Eton College when he turns 13, as opposed to his mother’s preferred choice of Marlborough College, an insider claimed to the MailOnline.

Jobson explained how Kate had sorted previous “moments of friction” between King Charles and Prince William. The royal author added: “After going through treatment like this you don’t want to do drama anymore and I think that is something she has experienced.”

The Queen has spoken of the “joy” reading can give to children as she hosted an event celebrating the 70th anniversary of a leading UK book charity.
The reception marking Book Aid International’s anniversary at St James’s Palace in London was attended by some 100 guests, including the charity’s president Nigel Newton and Lady Caroline Simmonds, the daughter of its founder.
Camilla has been patron of the charity since 2022 and set up her own online book club during the Covid-19 pandemic in 2021.
In an impromptu speech made after she had spoken individually to guests, Camilla told of the “very, very big difference” being made to people’s lives by the accessibility of books. She said: “I wasn’t actually expecting to speak this evening.
“There’s not a lot more I can say, except to say a huge thank you to all of you who support Book Aid.
“I have visited quite a lot of countries on my travels and I have been to libraries which have been recipients of Book Aid, and I have just seen the joy on the children’s faces when they receive these books.
“And if we can keep on doing this all over the world, we’re going to make a very, very big difference to people reading books, children getting access to books – and it’s really thanks to Book Aid and all of you here who have made this possible. So thank you very much indeed.”

Kate, 42, has attended just two public engagements this year after being diagnosed with an undisclosed type of cancer.

Royal biographer Angela Levin claimed that the duchess is “jealous” of the Princess of Wales and wants a “big house and lots of money”.
She told GB News: “Meghan is not going to come, except if she could take some of the jobs that Catherine has.
“She once complained that she thought it was shocking that they weren’t paid for each thing that they did. I think it would be a disaster.”
